You made it.
Okay, guys. Time for a movie.
I want everyone to sit here now!
You heard Filip, little boys.
No one closes their eyes.
- Keep watching. - Are you stupid or what?
You're horny, huh?
- Like what you see, boys? - Is that a hard-on you got there?
Just stop it!
And Erik...
Erik was there.
One could say that W's lack of communication
in itself is... then became rhetorical.
Yeah, but the... the question remains, "Was this a conscious strategy by W?"
It probably wasn't, in his case.
Or if he just happened to be in the wrong place,
and chance decided his place in history.
HOW ARE YOU?
Who knows?
Not us.
- That's all from us. Thanks. - Thanks so much.
I'm just tired.
Thank you very much for that. And then we have, uh...
What do you think I should be wearing for your birthday?
Is there a dress code? What are you gonna wear?
Um...
I, uh...
I guess I'm wearing a suit.
- A suit? - Mm.
Okay. A black one, or what?
Hello? What's up with you?
Nothing. I'm... just... tired.

August! What's up?
We are... we've just, uh, started working on the nominations.
Have you, uh, had the time to look at it?
No.
Here.
The Class Party Animal.
The Class Legend. The Class Socialist.
The Class Import...
- What? - Yeah, you know, that you're an immigrant.
Or some hobo.
Marwan, you thought that was hilarious, right?
Yeah, really funny.
But is that really a smart move?
Maybe I'm the lamest guy ever,
but what happens if an outsider hears about this?
But please, August. It's over.
Do you really think that they would give back our cell phones
and have the third-years' dinner if they weren't completely convinced
that we had won?
Yeah, whatever.
Do what you want.
I'm not gonna be there anyway, so...
What? Where are you going?
It's Wille's birthday.
We're gonna celebrate him at the palace.
But what? You're not gonna be at the party?
No.
It's just family. You know?
- A bit more important. - Okay.
But, um, good luck.
Have fun.
Yes, excuse me for disturbing you
in the middle of your lunch, but this is regarding you first-years.
Uh, at the third-years' dinner this weekend...
Oh goodness.
I have divided you into three groups,
since it is the first-years who will be serving them.
Group one, who will handle starters and aperitifs
will be Fredrika, Edith, Louise, and Madison.
Then we have group two, the main course,
Agnes, Sofia, Pervin, and Stella.
If she... I mean, if she's fine. She's sick right now.
Yes, we certainly hope so. We need all the hands we can get.
Group three will handle dessert.
That's Michaela, Felice, and Sara.
Right. Make a note of this.
We can switch groups if you want.
So you can avoid being with Sara.
No. No, it's fine.
- Are you sure? - Yeah. No problem. I'm okay.
I mean, can you imagine how cute we'll be in our uniforms?
Wait. We're gonna wear uniforms?
- Hi. - Hi.
I'm making some food for us.
Grandma's lasagna.
And I washed your clothes with that, uh, perfume-free detergent that you like.
How was school?
Are you on something?
What?
Is it against the law to feel good after a productive day?
Huh?
I went to the doctor and got some, uh, new medication.
You said that you can't take that kind of medication.
Well, I mean, it can't be that the only thing I can handle
in a whole day is practice driving for an hour with you.
I have to work and pay the bills too.
I mean, if it's a burden that I'm here, I can move back home to Mom.
No, the opposite. I'm so happy that you're here.
I'll see my doctor again in a month, so you don't have to worry.
Uh, I was thinkin' about your driver's test.
If you drive us there, we can practice and calm your nerves one last time. Okay?
- Hi, son. - Hi. Is it a bad time?
No, no. I'm just sitting here reading.
How is Mom doing?
Well, it is what it is.
But of course, she's looking forward to you coming home for the weekend.
Is she?
Of course she is.
I haven't talked to her in like... like forever.
I think, um, she's trying to keep all this from you.
So you...
Don't you worry.
You know how hard it is for her to show, uh, weakness.
Was Erik ever like that?
Weak?
Yeah.
Uh, everyone has weaknesses, son.
But it's difficult to remember Erik's.
You know, he was so...
he was so exuberant.
He didn't have that darkness inside him.
He was perfect, wasn't he?
Yeah. He really was.
He really was.
I...
I heard something
about him.
Oh. Oh, hang on, son. Come in!
I see. I see. Yeah, just a moment.
Could I call you back later?
Uh, or maybe we could talk about it this weekend?
- Mm. - Great. We'll do it then.
It'll be nice to celebrate you.
And to meet Simon too.
- Sleep well, son. - Sleep well.
Say hi to Mom.
This is Wilhelm. I can't take your call right now, but leave a message.

But it felt okay.
Uh, Simon, I...
I'm gonna quit the choir.
What? But you just started.
Yeah, but I really don't feel comfortable performing in front of people.
It's just not me, and the restrictions are gone,
so there's really no point in me staying.
I mean, you can be honest and tell me if I've done something.
It feels like you think that I'm...
...difficult 'cause I'm asking about your birthday.
But I'm doing it for your sake.
You're not difficult.
Okay. So what is it, then?
It would be nice if you could...
mm... talk to me 'cause I don't understand.
Erik took part in it.
The initiation. He was one of the third-years who was there,
who arranged it.
You mean the... porn video?
Yeah, and that's... that's the reason why I haven't said anything.
'Cause I don't even know how to feel about it.
And I really don't need you judging him as well.
- I haven't said anything. - No, but I know what you're thinking!
What I'm thinking?
You're thinking he was a homophobe. He didn't stand up for the weak.
He wouldn't have liked that I'm with you, or that he hadn't liked who I am.
Wille, that's not necessarily the case.
Maybe it isn't that strange that he got sucked into it
if everyone else was doing it
and thought it was a perfectly normal behavior.
Maybe he gave in to peer pressure. What do you know?
If there's anything I've learned from this whole situation with Sara
and everything is that... that siblings can screw up too.
And let you down.
I think that you just have to get used
to the idea that maybe Erik wasn't perfect.
But hold on. I mean...
What do you mean?
What?
I mean, you can't compare Erik to Sara.
- You have no right to do that. - I didn't do that.
- Yes, you did. - No.
You just did, or what... what the hell do you mean?
I'm just trying to say that Sara isn't perfect either.
- What the fuck? - She's tried to do something good.
Never mind. I can't take this.
- Can we just-- - I can't take this, Simon.
Can... can we just talk?
Hi.
Has something happened?
No, Sara.
Hi. You have reached Micke. I can't talk right now.
But if you leave a message or send a text, I'll call you back later.
Hi. Where are you? Are you on your way?
Because if you can't make it or something, you have to tell me.
'Cause my driving test is in 30 minutes,
and the bus won't leave for another 20 minutes,
so, uh, you really have to come now.
Uh, yeah, call me.
Hi. It's Sara again.
Are you on your way?
Um, call me.
Hi. Where are you?
I really need to know if you're on your way or not.
'Cause... yeah. Just call me.
Bye.
Fuck!
I really don't think Simon meant any harm.
He was probably just shocked.
Yeah, I guess he was, but...
I, for one, am really glad that you told me.
I really want to know what's true and not true in all this.
It's different with you 'cause you knew Erik.
You saw his good sides.
Simon never got the chance.
It can't be him.
Erik was the one that I...
He was the reasonable one. He was the one I could trust.
He was my brother, and now...
...now I don't even know if he would've liked me.
Of course he would.

Hi. Excuse me.
Sara Eriksson?
Yeah, exactly. Well, I'm sorry I'm late.
Yeah, cutting it a bit short. Have you got your ID?
Yes. Yeah.
Sorry.
Hmm.
Yep. Thank you.
Thanks.
You can get in.
Now take a left at the T-junction.
You can follow the signs towards Bjärstad South.
All right.
You can proceed.
Wow! It fits you perfectly!
Thank you, Mami.
What? Don't you like it?
We can return it if you want.
No, I like it. It's really beautiful.
Okay.
What's up?
I just don't know if it's gonna happen.
I mean, we had a fight. Kind of.
I always try to be there for him.
But whatever I do...
well, it turns out wrong.
Sweetheart.
You're not doing anything wrong.
You know what?
I think he's a wonderful boy.
His life and his situation is what it is.
But love...
...it shouldn't be this hard.
Especially when you're this young.
Remember that, Simon.
I got it.
My driver's license.
But Dad...
He was...
He was supposed to drive me there. He promised.
But instead, he drank beer with his friends.
I don't know.
I didn't think that it...
I thought it would all be fine, but...
I don't know what I thought, but it just hurts so much.
Sara.
I'm sorry, Simon.
I'm so... I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
It's okay, Sara.
Mm. I forgive you.
Oh.
I'M SORRY! EVERYTHING WENT WRONG.
I'M REALLY SORRY. I REALLY WANT YOU TO BE THERE TOMORROW...
BUT IT'S OKAY IF YOU'VE CHANGED YOUR MIND.
- Hi. - Hi.
Here's the suit for your birthday.
- Thanks. - You're welcome.
Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry!
It has to be ready in half an hour.
No.
Group one can start preparing the appetizers.
Oh my God. It's funny.
Group two can come with me.
Put this down.
What? Put this down?
The small ones on the outside.
The cutting edge should always face the plate.
You may start.
- Is there more dill, or is that the last? - There's more.
- I'm setting the tables. - Fantastic.
- Thanks. - Nice.

How did you get in?
I just had to bribe Malin.
Because...
if you don't have anyone who sings for you in the morning,
then it doesn't really feel like a real birthday.
You wanna make a wish?
- Nice. - Don't wrinkle it.
Really nice.
Is everything okay between us?
Yeah. Thank you for your text.
Oh yeah.
Here's your present.
But I promise I'll give you a real present too.
I just haven't had the time to finish it yet.
It's absolutely perfect.
Thank you.
All right. Here they are.
Happy birthday, Crown Prince.
Thank you. Thanks.
Congratulations, Crown Prince.
Well, the board will already be there when we arrive.
There will be a photo shoot followed by a short gathering.
I will, of course,
stay close to you and help you with names and topics of conversation,
should you feel like you need it.
Simon, I'll show you where you can be while you wait.
Okay. It's ten to.
We're 15 minutes late, but I think we'll be fine.
Hey.
Maybe it was stupid to tell you that thing about Erik.
I get that it must've been tough to hear.
Are you ready? Wilhelm?
Please go ahead.
Hello, Wilhelm. Nice to meet you.
- Thank you for last time. - Hello.
Lovely. You too. An absolute pleasure.
Thank you for coming.
- Hi. - Hi. Klas-Göran.
My name is Wilhelm.
- Joy. - Hi, Joy. A pleasure. Are they...?
For, uh, me?
Thanks a lot. Thank you. Very nice.
Whoa. Wow. You're better than me.
All right.
Let's line up for the photo shoot by the wall over there.
A pleasure. August. August.
- Should I stand here? - Squeeze together.
Yes. Big smiles.
Very good. And stand a bit closer.
Well, I... I... I gave up horse riding a couple years ago when I started school.
- But I'd like to pick it up again. - And smile.
- ...when I'm done. - Yes.
Give us a nice big smile, now.
One, two, three...
Hi.
How are you?
That went well.
Mm.
Absolutely.
Do you want some?
It's really good.
Thanks, but I can't eat anything
that's not made by the royal's own chef at events like this.
Why's that?
'Cause there's a risk of poisoning.
Crown Prince? Simon?
Time to go.
Farima, I don't give a shit what Mom and Dad think
they're gonna achieve by having August at my dinner.
I refuse. Okay?
It's either him or me going back to Hillerska.
Okay.
Malin, can you arrange a car
for the Crown Prince and Simon to the palace?
- Sure. - Good.
Uh, not tremendously, but it's certainly an interesting...
- Excuse me. - Hmm?
- Excuse me. - Oh.
- Thanks for the conversation. Great. - A pleasure.
- Hey. - Yeah?
I know that things are tense between you and the Crown Prince.
So I was thinking that you don't have to come to the palace.
After all, you only graduate once, right?
Good. I'll get you a car.
Mm. Thanks.

Congratulations, dear Wilhelm,
who doesn't just turn 17,
but he has also performed
his very own assignment
without Mom and Dad.
We're so proud of you.
So, um, let us hear it for Wilhelm! Hip-hip...
Hooray! Hooray! Hooray! Hooray!
- Hooray-- - How lovely.
Thanks, everyone.
- Congratulations. - Thanks.
Thanks.
- Oh, honey. Mm. - Hello.
Mm. How are you doing?
How are you?
Just fine.
- It's so great, Simon. - Yes.
To have you here with us today. Welcome.
Thank you.
- How lovely. Mm. - Thank you for having me.
Well, this year, we'll have a smaller celebration.
But next time, it'll be the first official Wilhelm Day.
Wilhelm Day, huh?
Yes, the people will also want to celebrate their Crown Prince.
So we'll get to enjoy being able to take it easy this year.
Yes.
Shall we... Well, let's have a drink, shall we?
- Mm-hmm. Yeah. - Huh?
- Yes, absolutely. - I'd love to.
- This way. - Thank you.
No, so it's, uh... Thanks. It's really nice.
- Yeah? - Expensive to refill.
But totally worth it.
Shit, there's August. Hey!
- Hey. - Welcome.
- Thanks. - What happened to the birthday?
Uh, I excused myself.
I realized that you only graduate once, right?
You're right.
Hey. Excuse me. Uh, could we arrange for August to sit here, sweetie?
And could he get a glass and something to drink for August as well?
Thanks.
Damn, a white tuxedo. Fresh.
Right? Dad's old one.
Really nice.
- Thanks. - A toast?
Yeah!
Well, uh, you've, uh, been boozing away, I see.
- Yeah, of course. Yeah. - Would you like a red or white?
Whatever is fine.
Mm. Red.
- You take care of that. - I'll handle everything.
If I handle it, I won't get it done.
- Thanks. - We can book a skipper too.
A skipper? Hell yeah.
It's, uh, really beautiful. Thank you very much.
Really nice.
It was time for you to have one of your own.
Yes, um... the old one belonged to Erik.
Okay.
Well, you must be hungry.
Let's eat.
Thank you.
Please enjoy.
So, Simon,
how do you celebrate birthdays in your family?
The usual.
Um...
Singing in the morning, cake, and gifts...
And then I usually meet my friends.
Bowling or something like laser tag.
- Laser tag? - Mm-hmm.
Hmm. I haven't tried that, have I?

I always thought that I would become a chef when I was a kid.
Okay, girls. Are you ready to serve?
- Two minutes. - Uh...
- So, um... - Yeah, absolutely. Okay.
- What do I do now? - Uh... put some on this one, maybe.
- That's right. Take-- - Ooh.
Oh. It's okay. It doesn't matter.
- And then this stuff on each one. - This one.
- All of them. These too. Like this. - These? Okay.
And then take some of this.
Uh...
Which ones are ready to be served?
- These ones. Start with them. - Oh, thanks.
- Then we just have to... - Oh yeah.
- Thanks. - Wait, if you add some of that...
- So? - Oh God.
- It was really tasty. - Mm? Hmm.
So, Simon.
I've been told that you're very interested in music.
Mm-hmm.
I, um... I sing.
And I write my own songs from time to time.
- And I'm trying to learn sheet music. - Oh.
- Wille has actually helped me quite a bit. - Really?
Hmm.
Yes, he took both piano and cello lessons when he was a kid.
But we had to force him to attend them.
So, uh, does music run in your family?
Yeah. Kind of.
My mom, uh, likes to listen to music and dances and sings and stuff.
And Dad plays the guitar.
He used to play in a band when he was younger.
Uh, and I think he plays the piano as well.
Erik played as well. He was a very talented pianist.
Yes.
And then he played the transverse flute.
- Was it the violin? - Yeah, I think it was, but...
Yeah. He was so talented, whatever he put his mind to.
- Yeah. - Excuse me.
Isn't it to your liking?
Yes. Yes, it was good.
The Class DILF Hunter, Derirée!
Hey!
Our next person has been mentioned in several, uh, categories.
The Class All-Star Jock, the Class Overachiever,
even the Class Future.
But he got the most votes as the Class Bad Boy.
August!
Bad boy!
Agge!
Damn, I'm jealous.
- I mean, bad boy. That's the best one. - The best one. I know. The best.
Yay!
Uh, yeah. The next one.
Yeah. He has the most stinking headaches.
His nutritional intake consists of 99% paracetamol.

CLASS BAD BOY
Hi!
Hi.
Throwing away the trash?
Mm-hmm.
Have you had time to read the letter?
Um, no, but I, uh...
...I was gonna give it back.
Why?
Because I don't want to read it.
Why not?
'Cause I don't want to.
It isn't... It's not very long.
I can... I'll read it.
- I can read it. Yes. - No. I--
I'll be quick.
There.
"Hi, August in the future."
"I hope that you graduate from Hillerska as the man you want to be."
"That you, through hard work and discipline,
manage to transform yourself from the scrawny little first-year
that everyone bossed around during the initiation
to a strong and independent individual that nobody dares to mess with."
"You'll show them."
"Right now, you're running everyone's errands,
but when you graduate, you should be the one who rules Forest Ridge."
"This first year was just the beginning."
"You've increased your muscle mass."
"You have stopped crying."
"You have learned to suck it up, and you've gotten yourself
some friends."
"You even get to hang out with Erik."
"And the third-years sometimes."
"I hope that you'll never have to be alone again."
I want you to understand where I'm coming from
and what I tried
or thought I wanted to... to be.
I don't even know if I want that anymore.
I don't know what it is I'm...
I wish I had done things differently with you.
Oh, there you are.
Please don't leave me alone with your parents like that.
Sorry. I just needed a break.
Hey, maybe it's best if I just go home.
What? What do you mean? Why?
Mm, because it feels like I shouldn't be here.
It's a bad atmosphere.
What do you mean, "shouldn't be here"? I... I need you here!
Simon, it's my birthd...
How the hell do you think I feel?
I mean, I've been worried sick for Mom.
And now, when we finally get to see each other, it's just horrible.
But sure, if you actually think it's so bad, then go. Just go.
The cake is served in the small living room, Your Highness.
There. Here comes Wille. Right.
Yes, it's time to blow out the candles.
And there's Simon as well. Very good.
Not bad.
And you get to make a wish.
There. I think I'll just retire back to, um...
Well, you... you... you just stay and finish the... the cake, so...
Well, let's have breakfast together tomorrow before you have to leave.
Wait, wait. Is it...
Is it really that much trouble
to just sit here and eat a damn piece of cake?
Hey, Wilhelm...
Or what's the deal?
I mean, sorry, but can we stop putting on this act?
And stop pretending that everything is normal?
Please.
Well, there is, um...
Nothing is normal after Erik died.
No, of course not. You think I think it is?
But that's not the whole truth.
Things have never been normal for us, but you pretend that they're normal.
You scratch the surface.
You talk about it, but you don't mean anything of what you're saying.
I mean, it's so damn sick, like...
I don't know. I was... I was so devastated!
I was totally devastated, and I needed you.
I needed you both!
I wasn't even allowed to mourn in peace with you.
The grief of Sweden was more important.
The only thing you cared about is how I look
and how I'm supposed to behave as Crown Prince!
How we... how our family appears.
That's what has mattered.
And when I didn't want to lie about the video and Simon
and about who I am,
then you break down!
Then you shattered!
Then you can't function!
Then you decide to fuckin' abandon me.
- Come on, Wilhelm. That's enough. - And you!
You let Mom do whatever she wants, and you don't give a damn about me!
I'm your only son.
Dad!
- Can you see me? - Wilhelm!
That's no way to talk to your father!
- Not to me either! - I will talk as I please!
You're my fuckin' parents!
You should be there for me!
It is...
It isn't that easy to be both your mother and your boss!
No, I've noticed because you're just as damn useless at both!
Just stop it!
I...
I... I... I... I...
I don't know.
I'm sorry, Simon.
I didn't mean for you to see that.
Wille, I, um...
I think it's good that you're honest with your parents.
And, um...
I really try to be there for you.
But then I just see how...
everything just hurts you.
This whole situation you're in.
And that hurts me.
I'm sorry, Simon.
It's just like you...
...you became someone else.
I don't recognize you.
